Pretty much... just like when Tomlin fell in love with Timmons. He drafted him to play OLB but said he was ILB-capable. He sucked at OLB so if Tomlin evaluated him as an OLB then that was HORRIFIC scouting.

Well, I think we're all glad he was able to play ILB after 3 years worth of multi-million dollar on the job training.

and except for the fact that they play 2 completely different positions.

David is a weakside linebacker in a 4-3. Shazier played in a 4-3 and we are "hoping" that he can play ILB in a 3-4.

Stop talking unless you know what your talking about. If David played in Pitt he would be playing inside just like Shazier will. James Farrior was an outside backer in NY....so what? Shazier played both inside and outside depending on down and distance. SHHHHHHHHHHH

No $hit... thats because we run a 3-4. There is no guarantee a guy can convert from a 4-3 LB to a 3-4 ILB..... completely different. David might have put up good #'s but he could be a bust in a 3-4. It's not plugin-in-play regardless of schemes and expect the same production.

Regardless, it's another "Tomlin project!" Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. 3 years from now we might see if this guy can play or not. Don't forget, in LeBoo super complex system, this guy will be lost for years before we have any hope of production out of him.
